Provo boasts one of the top 5 golf courses in the Caribbean region, located only minutes from all the major hotels in the Grace Bay area.

Provo Golf Club is rated in the top 10 courses in the Caribbean. The eighteen hole, par 72, championship course, was designed by Karl Litten and opened in 1992.

The course is a combination of lush greens and fairways, rugged limestone outcroppings and freshwater lakes. A four tee position system offers a formidable test for golfers of all calibers. The course has been rated as one of the region's top ten in "Caribbean Travel & Life."

A Secret Worth Discovering!" is the Provo Golf Club's new slogan . . . based on the fact that many visiting golfers and most resident players are so enamored of the course that they want to keep it to themselves. Unfortunately for them, it's a secret that's becoming harder to keep, as more and more golfers partake of the course's excellent conditioning, challenging layout and accessibility.

"Golf Digest" describes the 6,560 yard, par 72 course as " . . . a first rate design, maintained to the highest standards." For this, golfers can thank the foresight and ongoing interest of the course owners, Turks & Caicos Water Company (especially Fred Herbrand and Barrie Cooke), the original architecture by renowned Karl Litten, as well as daily hard work by course superintendent Don Salter and his 14-man crew.

The Annual Turks & Caicos Islands Amateur Open is held every October, reflecting the growing popularity of Provo's sporting oasis. Dave Douglas, Director of Golf, comments, "I'm not surprised that we have participants coming in from North America, Britain, Bermuda, Jamaica and the Bahamas. The number of resort players we see is increasing by 15-20% each year as our reputation is spread by word of mouth among the golfing community." Packages available. Pro shop, driving range and professional instruction, too. Open from 7AM every day of the year, the course is least crowded during the "low season" summer and fall months.
